armoured snowmobile
Just a couple of things;
415 machines originally ordered, 410 built most (400?) for export.
Built by Farand and Delorme, Montreal.
Surviving mk 2 or 3 versions (as per yellow example on other thread) have an obvious bit of lower front armour. You can see it on the first of Eds pictures and again on the yellow machine below the front cab. The early MK1 ? version built in 1946/Ottawa does NOT have the obvious armour plate sticking down below the front cab.It has been removed and replaced with a bumber type crosss bar and front fender . This suggests that the few surviving Mk2/3 versions are not from the 11 conversions done in Montreal, but from some other source.
